The Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles face off on Sunday in an MLB showdown at Oriole Park. In the first game, it was the Red that won 3-1. On Saturday it was a little different as the Orioles won 2-1. 

The Baltimore Orioles haven’t had a good season sitting with a 7-14 record overall but it seems just when you forget about them, they start to play well again. In the first two games of this series, they only scored five runs, but they have done enough to secure one victory.  Austin Hays has been the top player for the Orioles hitting two home runs and driving in nine RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Boston Red Sox who sit with a 9-13 record overall and they have lost two of their last three games. Over the last three games, the Red Sox have only scored four runs total, and they need to find a way to get the offense going here. Alex Verdugo has been the top player for the Orioles so far this season hitting three home runs and driving in 13 RBIs. 

Getting the start for the Red Sox will be Nick Pivetta who sits with an 0-3 record and an ERA of 8.27. In his last start against the Blue Jays he went 4.2 innings giving up two runs. 

On the mound for the Orioles is Jordan Lyles who sits with a 5.40 ERA. In his last start against the Yankees he went 4.2 innings giving up seven hits and six runs. 

The Red Sox are 0-8 in Pivetta’s last eight road starts. The Red Sox are 4-1 in their last five games on Sunday. The under is 5-0 in Pivetta’s last five Sunday starts. The under is 5-0 in Pivetta’s last five starts with four days of rest. 

There hasn’t been a ton of scoring to start this series, but that all changes in this game. In Lyles last start he gave up seven hits and six runs. I expect the Red Sox are going to tee off on Lyles and have plenty of success scoring. The Orioles will also add a few runs against Nick Pivetta who sits with an ERA of 8.27. Look for this game to be a shootout, and the over is going to cash.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
